Question

The temperature of a substance increases by $27^{\circ} \, C$. On the Kelvin scale this increase is equal to

• A. 300 K
• B. 2.46 K
• C. 27 K
• D. 7 K

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

27 K

Answer 2

Suppose, $C =$ temperature at Celsius scale $K =$ temperature at Kelvin scale Now, $K = C +273$ But the change in the temperature will be same by cancelling the $273^{\circ}$ factor. So, $\Delta^{\circ} C =\Delta^{\circ} K$
